Review summary

Users praise ease of use and on-the-go note-taking, with some reporting smooth syncing on certain devices and positive updates (pixelation fix). However, recurring complaints dominate: Android typing/input remains broken (autocorrect, keyboard issues, writing not possible); editing capabilities are limited (view-only, no annotation/edit features); syncing/pairing between the app and Remarkable devices is unreliable; PDF support is weak (no opening/editing; notebooks only) and scanning is imperfect; updates often introduce bugs and battery drain.
Pros
  • Easy to use and elegant UI that feels premium.
  • Good for on-the-go note-taking with fast response.
  • On some devices (e.g., Samsung phones), the app syncs smoothly and works well.
  • Recent updates have fixed issues like pixelation.
Cons
  • Poor typing/input experience on Android (autocorrect broken, keyboard issues, writing not possible).
  • Editing capabilities are limited (view-only, no annotation/edit features).
  • Syncing and pairing between the app and Remarkable devices is unreliable (stuck pairing, not syncing, Wi-Fi issues).
  • PDF support is weak: PDFs can't be opened or edited; notebooks only, with scanning issues.
  • Updates often introduce bugs and increased battery drain (keyboard bugs persist, instability).

this app straight up does not work. I am stuck in a loop "app could not receive hostname: network error" what a waste of time.

First of all, I love my ReMarkable. But... This app needs a lot of work. It doesn't adapt well to different screen sizes, also you can't share articles to the app, so it would send it to my ReMarkable. I think the last one is such an oversight... its just strange.

Never syncs, not even for miniscule files. when the file *is* too big, no pop-up saying so, just the struggle sync bar staying empty then lying about syncing. what did I expect.

been 2 years with the device, expected much more updates than they have but the focus is on updating the device (which doesn't really need much) rather than the compatibility. It needs to be able to filter via tags and it needs the ability to show the layers of the notes rather than what was last used. I'm not holding my breath for a functional integrations feature

Good to organise my notes on my reMarkable device, but typing notes on the phone is terrible. Every time I want to try to change the upper case/lower case on letters, especially with Gboard, it actually types a special character on the notes. also it is fairly limited with customisation even typing notes (no font colours for reMarkable Paper Pro)

I like the remarkable itself, but I'm not a fan of the app. When it works, it only allows you to type, nothing more. Half the time it will delete my notes, or change them to some weird symbol that I then cannot undo.

Great device. Missing app feature. It would be amazing to have the "read on ReMarkable" feature as part of the phone's share with menu. It's really clunky to have to import documents through the real app on such a small screen. And this is my most used button on my computer. Please consider adding this.

the app is poor and honestly I have the 2 and it just doesn't work. features are utterly unresponsive, I'm not an old man, I'm a 30 Yr old chef at a Michelin starred restaurant, I am able to adjust pressure with my fingers. so why am I simply unable to turn a page?!?!?!
